With increase in calorific value of fuels, their adiabatic flame temperatures__________________?
Correct answer: A. May increase or decrease; depends on the quantity of products of combustion
- A. May increase or decrease; depends on the quantity of products of combustion
- B. Decrease
- C. Remain unchanged
- D. Increase
Explanation
Adiabatic flame temperature depends not only on fuel calorific value but also on the amount and heat capacity of the combustion products. Therefore, a higher calorific value may increase or decrease the temperature depending on the combustion-product quantity.
